When you hear the phrase Fiat 500 price, it's natural to wonder: how does the vintage charm of a 1968 unit compare with a newer model? How steep is the drop in value that’s often discussed in classic car circles? In this overview we’ll break down the key specs, show depreciation trends, and even answer the question what is a 1968 Fiat 500 worth? We’ll keep the numbers fluid—recognizing that “price” varies by market, vehicle condition and mileage—yet we’ll provide solid benchmarks and realistic estimates.

Depreciation insight: When you ask about Fiat 500 depreciation, the consensus among classic car economists is that the vehicle tends to lose value at a more modest rate than newer high‑performance cars. In the first year after purchase—whether buying new or used—the classic 1968 Fiat 500 will typically lose around 15 – 20% of its value. If the vehicle is maintained in pristine condition, the yearly reduction can be closer to the lower end of that range.
Subsequent years see a tapering effect. By the third year, the loss in value often falls to roughly 10 – 12%, and after five years, depreciation slows further, leaving a smooth balance between appreciation for rarity and wear‑and‑tear. Remember, these numbers draw upon recent auction and market data and will vary by region, mileage and originality of the engine.
